General Academic Requirements

THE CURRICULUM

The Arts and Sciences undergraduate program requires a minimum of 128 credit hours of study. These credits are earned through a combination of degree requirements and electives. The degree requirements are comprised of five components, which each contribute to students’ achieving the goals of the undergraduate program. Remaining credits are earned with free elective courses. Often, students use free electives to complete minor program or benefit from the special academic opportunities offered.

INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING GOALS

Emmanuel College Prepares Students to: 1. Engage complex ideas by broadening and deepening their knowledge and by sharpening their intellectual skills. Emmanuel students address complex realities across diverse areas of inquiry, drawing on deep connections formed through the study of the liberal arts and sciences and a chosen discipline. Through critical analysis, balanced reflection and active discourse, they confront vital issues equipped with the intellectual tools to imagine solutions. Students emerge with a deeper appreciation for the pursuit of knowledge as a pathway to a more meaningful, creative and enriching life.

2. Excel in their future careers—and make valuable contributions to their organizations and professions. Students of Emmanuel College are able to apply knowledge to real-world challenges by engaging in creative and ethical problem solving. As people who value and promote diversity, graduates work on multiple levels to advance their organizations and all whom they serve and employ. Students see themselves as part of a larger whole and add value through teamwork and leadership, recognizing the need to be agile and forward-leaning in their chosen professions.

3. Deepen and clarify their sense of personal, social, ethical and civic responsibility. Inspired by Catholic social teaching and by the values of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, students honor the dignity, worth and gifts of every human person. Through vibrant discussions, they reflect on their own moral reasoning and on diverse perspectives—including voices that have been historically silenced. As active participants in campus life, they develop the interpersonal and leadership skills to practice courageous advocacy. And throughout Boston and beyond, they experience the joy of serving others while finding purpose by addressing inequality. These transformative experiences empower students to discover their strengths and a deeper sense of personal identity; grow emotionally, morally and spiritually; and gain the confidence to embrace their convictions through social action.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Students who entered in Fall 2021 will follow a new General Education (GE) program. The degree requirements for the new GE Program and the General Requirements for students who entered before Fall 2021 are detailed below. All degree programs, regardless of start date, are comprised of the following key requirements:

General Education Program (either the Domains of Knowledge and Foundation Skills for students matriculated prior to Fall 2021 or the General Education Curriculum Program for students matriculated Fall 2021 and later). Details outlined under the degree requirements specific to matriculation start date.

Major Program (minimum 40 credits. See Academic Regulation section and Academic Programs for specific requirement details) The major program allows students to develop depth of knowledge and skills in an academic discipline. Students choose a major program offered by Emmanuel or develop an individualized major (see Special Academic Opportunities). Major program requirements vary, and at least 50% of them must be fulfilled through Emmanuel courses. However, except for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program, students may take no more than 64 credits in one department.

Capstone (minimum 4 credits-some majors require more than one semester of capstone) The Capstone is the culminating experience of the undergraduate program. Through this experience, students demonstrate achievement of program goals through academic work that exhibits knowledge and skills appropriate to the degree-level of the program. The nature of the Capstone Experience requirement depends on the major program. Students who double major will complete multiple Capstone Experiences, as each major program defines. an appropriate culminating experience. In all majors, the Capstone Experience involves completing a significant piece of work that requires the integration and application of learning from multiple courses. Students should consult with their academic advisors early in their majors to ensure that they are prepared for the work required in the capstone courses.

Internship Students are required to complete an internship or practicum experience. The internship or practicum must be fulfilled through the major program if required or by completing IDS4194 or INT1010 as approved by department for majors not requiring an internship. Internship experiences must be conducted in the semester in which the student is registered for the internship course.

Credit and GPA Requirements: All students, no matter the matriculation semester or general education curriculum followed, must successfully meet the minimum credit and GPA requirements to receive an undergraduate degree from Emmanuel College: • Credits: 128 total credits completed (some major programs may result in more than 128 credits completed) • Residency Credits (Courses completed at

Emmanuel) ○ 64 credits in residence (completed at Emmanuel College. See Residency section for additional courses that may be considered in-residence) ○ 50% of major requirements completed at Emmanuel College ○ 50% of minor requirements (if declared) completed at Emmanuel College • Grade Point Average: ○ Cumulative GPA of 2.0 ○ Major program GPA of 2.0 (Grades of C or better required to fulfill major. Nursing students should see Nursing Student Handbook for specific program grade requirements) ○ Minor program GPA (if declared) of 2.0

Additional Free Electives to reach the 128 credit minimum if not met by the requirements above

The following describes the goals of the Foundations Skills and Domains of Knowledge Curriculum for students matriculated prior to Fall 2021:

FOUNDATION SKILLS

Students are required to demonstrate minimum competency in areas Emmanuel deems necessary for higher learning and functioning in today’s world. Students fulfill these requirements either through coursework or demonstration of competency. This requirement ensures that students have the foundational skills for learning at

the college level, for lifelong learning and for functioning in a diverse and global society. The following courses fulfill the requirement for each foundational skill: • Writing communication skills:

ENGL1103 Introduction to Academic Writing. All incoming students will take ENGL1103in their first or second semester, unless they have appropriate Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Transfer credit.

• Second language skills:

Two consecutive semesters of a foreign language or American Sign Language or demonstration of skill via score received on Language Assessment completed prior to orientation session

All incoming students must take the Math and Language Assessment prior to their orientation session. Scores received on these assessments will determine which math level students may enroll in and whether Language courses must be completed to fulfill degree requirements. Students who speak a language not offered at Emmanuel should consult with their academic advisor regarding options for other assessments not offered through Emmanuel. Students who do not complete the language assessment will be placed into beginning level language courses. F-1 International Students who have submitted documentation of IELTS and TOEFL scores indicating that English is not their first language will be waived from the Language requirement. While math and language assessments are completed prior to orientation, students may not necessarily need to take math or language courses in their first semester at Emmanuel, but the scores will be used to place them in the appropriate level courses upon course registration.

DOMAINS OF KNOWLEDGE

1. Aesthetic Inquiry (AI-L; AI-A)

Requirement: two courses (one from literature, one from the arts)

The two-course requirement in this domain consists of courses that expose to original works produced by writers, visual artists and musicians, and provides an opportunity to interpret, evaluate,analyze and understand these products of the creative imagination.

Using the language, concepts, and criteria of the respective aesthetic disciplines, courses in American, British, world and foreign language literature as well as historical surveys of art, music, theater and performance/studio courses will explore the relationship between aesthetic works and their historical and cultural contexts.

2. Historical Consciousness (H)

Requirement: one course (a historical survey of a significant period of history or region of the world)

The requirement in this domain consists of courses that provide students with a context for understanding relationships between historical events and the connection between past and present.

The requirement in the historical consciousness domain will be drawn from courses that survey a period in history or a region of the world. These courses demonstrate the methods and theories with which historians deal with such issues as causation, the role of perspective and judgment in reconstructing the past, conflicting interpretations of historical events and processes, and the ways in which evidence is analyzed and evaluated as a tool for reconstructing the past.

3. Social Analysis (SA)

Requirement: two courses from two different disciplines

The two-course requirement in this domain consists of courses that present and apply the formal theoretical perspectives and empirical research methods that define those bodies of knowledge known as the social sciences: anthropology, economics,political science, psychology and sociology.

Courses in this domain have in common the aim of analyzing the interaction between individuals, states and cultures; and the institutions and ideas that organize social life within and between societies. Individual courses will vary according to their respective disciplinary emphases on personality, economic systems, political institutions, social structures and culture. Courses will provide an understanding of important elements of the intellectual tradition of social science inquiry and have application to issues of contemporary society.

4. Scientific Inquiry and Quantitative Analysis (SI; SI-L; QA)

Requirement: three courses (one laboratory science course, one quantitative analysis course, and one from either area, where the science course may be a nonlaboratory science course.

Laboratory science courses indicated by

SI-L.)

The three-course requirement in this domain consists of courses that deal with the scientific study of the natural world and with the logical systems of mathematics. The scientific inquiry component of the requirement consists of courses that demonstrate the methods used by scientists to obtain and evaluate information, consider the impact of scientific information on humanity and the environment, and provide experience in using scientific reasoning to investigate questions and develop and evaluate hypotheses. In so doing, such courses can provide a basis for scientific literacy for non-scientists. The quantitative analysis component of the requirement consists of courses that teach the logical structures of quantitative reasoning, the concept of probability, or the application of quantitative argument to everyday life. In so doing, the courses in this domain provide a basis for mathematical literacy for non-mathematicians.

5. Religious Thought and Moral Reasoning (R; RCT; M)

Requirement: three courses (two in religious thought, one in moral reasoning)

The three-course requirement in this domain consists of courses that provide an intellectual framework for the exploration of systems of religious belief and of moral concepts. Courses fulfilling the religious thought requirement will affirm the religious dimension of life as a central aspect of understanding human experience, address the interrelationship of religion with other social systems and cultures, and explore the multiplicity of expressions of belief both within and across religious traditions. Mindful of the

College’s Catholic heritage and appreciating the theological foundations of a liberal arts and sciences education within the Catholic intellectual tradition, students are required to complete at least one of their religious thought (R) requirements from courses in which they encounter the Christian tradition, which inspires the mission of Emmanuel College.

Courses which meet this requirement are designated RCT in the Academic Catalog.

Students may take only one 1000-level course to fulfill the religious thought requirement. Courses fulfilling the moral reasoning requirement may be those that address moral reasoning either in the narrow sense of determining right from

wrong and good from evil, or in the broader sense in which the subject matter of moral reasoning is the good life itself, especially the virtues discussed by philosophers for centuries, in particular the virtue of wisdom.

The following describes the goals of the Foundations Skills and Domains of Knowledge Curriculum for students matriculated in or after Fall 2021:

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

For Students Matriculated Fall 2021 or Later Students who matriculated at Emmanuel beginning in Fall 2021 or later require a minimum of 128 credit hours of study. These credits are earned through a combination of degree requirements and electives. The degree requirements are comprised of the following components:

General Education Curriculum* • Writing Requirement- Two (2) Courses ○ ENGL1103 Intro to Academic Writing (or equivalent if transferring approved course in via Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or College course transfer credit) ○ Writing Intensive Course (WI): Typically 2000 or 3000-level course completed after ENGL 1103 and before senior capstone • Essential Values Requirement–Four (4)

Courses. May overlap with an AOK course. ○ Diversity and Multiculturalism (DM)–Two (2) courses ○ Social Justice (SJ)–Two (2) courses • Areas of Knowledge (AOK)–One or two courses from each AOK. See below for details. Within each Area of Knowledge students will gain critical thinking and effective communication skills (Descriptions of these skills outlined in section below). Courses that fulfill Areas of Knowledge may also fulfill courses that are designated as SJ and DM to fulfill Essential Values requirements, WI courses that fulfill Writing Intensive courses, as well as courses that are required for major or minor programs. However, one AOK course may not fulfill another AOK course (ex. An HI course may not also fulfill a LC course). ○ Ethical Reasoning (ER) ○ Historical Inquiry (HI) ○ Language and Culture (LC)– one course if continuing in a language and proficiency exam places student into second semester, two courses if beginning a new language. ○ Literary Inquiry (LI) ○ Quantitative Reasoning (QR) ○ Religious Inquiry (RI and RI-CT)–Two (2) courses, of which one (1) course must be in the Christian Tradition designated as (RI-CT) ○ Scientific Process-Natural Sciences (NS and NSL)–Two (2) courses of which one (1) course must have a lab component designated as NSL (2 hours or more weekly distinct from lecture section) ○ Scientific Process-Social Sciences (SS)–Two (2) courses, with each course from a different discipline (department prefix) ○ Visual and Creative Inquiry (VCI)

Major Program Minimum 40 credits

Capstone Experience Fulfilled through major program. Minimum of 4 credits

Internship Requirement Internship Requirement Completed through the major program credit bearing course or IDS4194 or INT1010 for majors that do not require an internship as approved by the

department. Internship experiences must be conducted in the semester in which the student is registered for the internship course.

Additional Free Electives to reach the 128 credit minimum if not met by the requirements above

*Courses will continue to be added to the catalog as fulfilling the General Education Curriculum, for the Essential Values, Areas of Knowledge, and Writing Intensive (WI). Students should check Student Planning for course designations for the most up to date approval of courses that will fulfill the General Education Curriculum requirements.

GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM (GE)

The purpose of General Education at Emmanuel College is to develop individuals who are capable of thoughtful, creative and productive lives.The essential skills, breadth of knowledge and personal and social values that students develop will prepare them for a lifetime of learning, personal development, and service to their professions and their communities. Along with their major program of study and co-curricular activities, the general education program will help to prepare students to live a flourishing life in this complex world of rapid change, individual and cultural diversity, and unlimited opportunities for service to others. This purpose will be realized by students satisfying specific goals. Some of these express values of the College, some express skills, while others describe specific areas of knowledge.Courses that fulfill these requirements are marked with the abbreviations noted in parentheses in the course descriptions section of this catalog.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS All courses approved to fulfill the General Education (GE) curriculum beginning in Fall 2021 are embedded with the skills of Critical Thinking and Effective Communication.

Critical Thinking While critical thinking includes critical reasoning, in its broader meaning it is a type of problem solving. In this world of rapid social, professional and personal life changes, it is essential that students can identify and clarify problems, gather relevant and reliable information, construct and test a variety of possible solutions, and understand the implications of their decisions. This skill is embedded in every GE course.

Effective Communication Students develop effective communication skills by learning to read, view, and listen to a variety of cultural texts and artefacts while simultaneously developing analytical skills that help to translate complex ideas to diverse audiences. They learn to speak with confidence about creative and critical processes, acquiring an informed voice that connects them to the past and guides them into the future of the fast-moving global world. This skill is embedded in every GE course. In addition, students will take the First Year Writing course as well as an additional writing intensive designated WI.

Integrative Learning Integrative learning recognizes that knowledge from individual disciplines serves as a foundation to further developing integrative and interdisciplinary studies that go beyond academic boundaries, fostering and creating deeper learning for students. Integrative learning is applied learning that demonstrates an understanding and a disposition towards connecting in-class curriculum and co-curriculum opportunities. Students unite these experiences resulting in the ability to integrate and transfer learning to

new and complex situations. This goal will be realized through a student’s internship experience and by the taking the courses discussed under SJ and DM goals.

ESSENTIAL VALUES In alignment with the College’s mission and values, students will complete a total of four courses that will allow them to develop the Essential Values of Diversity & Multiculturalism and Social Justice. Students will complete a total of two courses from each Essential Value category (DM-Diversity and Multiculturalism and SJ- Social Justice). The courses designated as SJ or DM may also overlap to fulfill a General Education Area of Knowledge (AOK) course designated as ER, HI, LC, LI, QR, RICT, RT, NS, NSL, SS or VCI, as well as courses that may be designated as Writing Intensive (WI) and major requirements. However, a course designated as one Value may not also fulfill another Value (such as a SJ course may not fulfill a DM as well).

Social Justice (SJ) Social justice is a goal that lies at the heart of the mission of the College, which encourages all members of the community to follow the example of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to make a difference in the civic life of our communities, our nation and the global world. It encourages us to develop the knowledge, skills, values and motivation to participate in activities of personal and public concern that are both individually life enriching and socially beneficial to the local and global community. Two courses designated SJ and participation in a substantive experience designed to promote social justice.

Diversity and Multiculturalism (DM) Diversity encompasses multiple dimensions of identity and culture. This is related to how individuals identify themselves as well as how any given society or culture categorizes them. This categorization subsequently influences interpersonal interactions in specific situations. Students should understand the complexity of identity, particularly in terms of how it affects the individual, how the individual is perceived and treated by others, and how identity relates across different cultural contexts, both local and global. Two courses designated DM.

AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE The knowledge, skills and habits of the mind developed through the study of the liberal arts disciplines and their respective methods of inquiry, their concepts and vocabulary, their creative and critical processes, and their contributions to human knowledge are basic to the goal of developing the intellectual, aesthetic and moral sensibility assumed in a person liberally educated for life. The Areas of Knowledge the College believes are important for students to acquire are Ethical Reasoning, Historical Inquiry, Language and Culture, Literary Inquiry, Quantitative Reasoning, Religious Inquiry, Scientific Process in the Natural Sciences and Social Sciences, and Visual and Creative Inquiry. Courses that fulfill these requirements are marked with the abbreviations noted in parentheses in the course descriptions section of this catalog.

Ethical Reasoning (ER) Students develop a system of values, an idea of how best to lead their lives. They also develop a system of moral beliefs about right and wrong and apply this to ethical issues in a variety of settings, appreciating that others may have diverse perspectives, and understanding the impact their choices have on themselves and others. Having a solid foundation in ethical reasoning in a world of social media and rapidly changing technology is

essential for success both professionally and personally. One course designated ER.

Historical Inquiry (HI) Essential to the liberal arts and sciences, the study of history enables students to understand change and continuity over time and around the world. Studying cultures and ideas of the past allows students to connect themselves to the richness and diversity of human experience. They learn to analyze and interpret historical records, using traditional and digital modes of technology to share their findings with different audiences. Training in the historical method will help students become more perceptive, confident, and sophisticated in their writing and thinking. One course designated HI.

Language and Culture (LC) In an increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively with others across languages and cultures is vital to success in the twenty-first century. Basic understanding of another language and the culture in which it is grounded empowers students to interact with diverse populations. It creates a strong foundation for communicating in a language other than English, particularly in professional contexts, and provides students with opportunities to build positive global and cross-cultural relationships. One course designated LC if continuing in a language and two courses if beginning a new language.

Literary Inquiry (LI) The skill-sets associated with a literary perspective—reading, viewing, writing, and revision—are essential for students who need to adapt themselves to the fast-paced world of information exchange. Studying literature not only connects students to a long tradition of authors who have tried to envision socially just worlds. It also challenges students to connect this tradition to the worlds of social media, film, public relations, popular culture, and creative writing. As students envision new worlds and interrogate the limits of conventional ideas, they create a global vision necessary for success in the twentyfirst century. One course designated LI.

Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Quantitative data establish the grounds for relevant and informed claims in a variety of contexts, from technical presentations to daily news sources. As students develop and strengthen their ability to assess data through algebra, statistics, finance, or daily mathematical operations, they learn to investigate the validity of simple and complex statements while making principled decisions in the digital age. One course designated QR.

Religious Inquiry (RI) Religion is a historically and geographically pervasive influence on all aspects of human experience. There is no time or place free of religious influence, including those times and places that strove to become free of religious influence. For this reason, to understand humankind one must have a basic understanding of religion. Two courses, at least one of which must be in the Christian tradition, designated (RICT). The other may be designated either RICT or RT.

Scientific Process: Natural Science (NS) (NSL) Knowledge of the natural world will help students understand the influence science has on innovative scientific discovery and their everyday lives. A practical exploration of the natural sciences gives students the opportunity to become more comfortable with their own environment and to develop essential problem-solving skills relevant

to their professional lives. Through lab experimentation and the technologies of modern science, students encounter the physical world at dimensional scales ranging from the atom to the organism. This goal will be met by taking two courses designated (NS), at least one of which must be a lab course designated as (NSL).

Scientific Process: Social Science (SS) Experiencing the expansive disciplinary diversity of the social sciences (economics, political science, psychology and sociology), students will examine the different social structures and institutions that organize human life in different cultural contexts. The disciplinary approach to these contexts will vary depending on whether they emphasize past societies, economic systems, political institutions, human personality, or social structures. But a common analytical focus on institutions that organize social life within and between cultures connects students to theories and methodologies about human sociality. Two courses designated (SS), from two different disciplines.

Visual and Creative Inquiry (VCI) Through the analysis or production of creative work, students understand how artistic expression motivates societal change and generates professional opportunities. The visual perspective on society is invaluable to students entering a professional world dominated by artistic expression, social media, and visual technologies. As students expand their understanding of creativity and the arts, they will find ways new ways to see and create in both their personal and professional lives. One course designated (VCI).

ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION

Emmanuel’s academic departments and programs are organized into five schools: • Maureen Wilkens School of Nursing and

Clinical Sciences • School Business and Management • School of Education • School of Humanities and Social Sciences • School of Science and Health

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

The faculty has developed both minor and major programs for Arts and Sciences students. Both minor and major programs offer Emmanuel students the opportunity to learn specialized knowledge, focus their study, and prepare for life after graduation. A variety of major programs are offered to allow students to fulfill the undergraduate major program requirement in accordance with their interests and future plans. Each program has a set of associated requirements, determined by the responsible academic department. Students should enroll in academic programs after consultation with their academic advisor. The total number of combined major and minor credits cannot be fewer than 60. Students cannot count more than 64 credits from one department towards their degree unless they are enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Some program requirements may have prerequisite courses. The number of program requirements varies by type of program.

Minor Programs Minor programs typically consist of 20 to 24 credits, at least 12 of which are completed at Emmanuel.

Major Programs Majors lead to either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (B.F.A.). Typically, majors leading to a B.A. require 40 to 48 credits,

whereas majors leading to the B.S. or B.F.A. require between 60 and 68 credits. At least 50% of the credit hours counting towards the major requirements must be completed at Emmanuel. A minimum grade of C is required to fulfill major requirements. Nursing students should consult the Nursing Student Handbook for specific course grade requirements.

Double Majors Students may elect to have a double major by fulfilling all the requirements for a major in two different departments. Students who successfully complete two majors only earn one degree. Students who earn a double major where each major is within different degree programs (such as one major between the B.A. and B.S.) will be able to choose the degree they graduate with and what appears on all final official graduation documents. Once the degree has been conferred, the students may not change their degree designation. Double majors must complete distinct separate capstone courses to earn the double major. Each major must have a minimum of 40 credits (typically 10 courses) that are distinctive to the major department.

Course Overlaps Students are allowed to declare up to three academic programs (major and minors) –with no more than two majors – and use courses to satisfy the requirements in all programs. Students may pursue two majors within an academic department; however, they may not choose two concentrations within an academic department. While course overlaps are permitted between majors, major capstone requirements cannot overlap to fulfill capstones for two majors. Students must complete two distinct capstone requirements- one for each major. An internship that serves as a capstone for one major, cannot count for a capstone for another major. Internship courses may be used to satisfy the internship requirement for more than one major if the internship is appropriate for the second major and with written approval by both department chairs, unless internships are the capstone experience. Majors constitute a minimum of 40 credits within the department, and while course requirement overlaps may be permitted, each major must have a minimum of 40 credits (typically 10 courses) that are distinctive to the major department.
